It sounds crisp and refreshing, I like it, but I can't say I love it. I feel like I've heard it before...may be more time is needed. The sound is similar to Touch Yello, and I've been hoping that a direction might change, but need to hear the full album first.

I like it, as you say it is more in the style of Touch rather than the earlier stuff, from what I had read the album is going back to earlier styles so as you also say, maybe its best heard as a whole rather than in slices.
